Not quite perfect I can’t hear above 16khz

They aren’t as accurate as when do properly by an audiologist, incorrect headphone volume levels and external noise affects the results.

That’s the same thing my audiologist told me after follow up conversations. I’m happy knowing the test is good for my age (35) and any small tweaks to EQ or balance control I have used just still doesn’t sound right so I have learned to accept it and listen with no adjustments, I’m noticing...

I probably should word it better as mild imbalance instead of loss as I was told by audiologist that I don't have actually hearing loss, the results are apparently quite good for my age. He also explained its very rare to actually find people with perfectly balanced hearing. I only notice...

That’s what I tried on the day I had the Audiogram done. Using the HD600 it just sound boomy on the right channel.

I know that dbHl does not directly translate to dbSpl and I’m struggling to make a right channel only PEQ preset to compensate for my slight hearing loss from illness years ago. Because 1dbHL does not equal 1dbSPL I tried to EQ by ear until it sounded more balanced but the issue is a lot of...

Could you combat this by rotating the drivers?

They don’t project sound like a conventional cone driver, you can move all around the room and the sound barely changes, like OLEDs viewing angles.

Absolutely and the small minx12 are supposedly excellent for height channels, philharmonic towers use little $20 bmr drivers in their $4000 tower speaker because they perform so well.

It’s actually far better than speakers I’ve heard in any modern tvs. Minx 22 is a 1.5 way design with the lower unit being a custom bmr woofer to reinforce the low mids/high bass. Not two of the same driver put In parallel, they work really well in my set up for a surround system where my other...

Noob question, bmr is known for its wide 180 degree dispersion but is that only horizontal? If I were to say use a Cambridge minx 22 on its side for a center channel would it matter? Is the dispersion equally vertical and horizontal?

I think so, you’d think with all the noise and distortion it would be horrible but apparently I like it more.

I have no way of recording unfortunately so I can’t show you that. My cartridge and phono stage measure flat so I wouldn’t expect a massive roll off in the treble for example being responsible

Something I’m struggling to understand is why my system sounds much better when playing vinyl when compared to digital using the same album master. Yes the vinyl is a digital master from the CD so it’s essentially a slow spinning silver disc with worse specs but when level matched and comparing...

Yeah I meant like 2 ends connected to the amplifier and then split to 4 at the speaker terminals
